Abstract

Uterine arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is defined as abnormal and nonfunctional connections between the uterine arteries and veins. Althoughthe patients typically present with vaginal bleeding, some patients may experience life-threatening massive bleeding in some circumstances. Thetreatment of choice depends on the symptoms, age, desire for future fertility, and localization and size of the lesion; however, embolization of theuterine artery is the first choice in symptomatic AVM in patients at reproductive age with expectations of future fertility. We report a case ofacquired AVM (after D/C) with an extensive lesion, which was successfully treated with bilateral uterine artery embolization (UAE).
